To aZZ whom it may concern.-

Be it known that we, ADAM GUNKLAOH, HENRY GUNKLAOH, and JACOB GUNKLAOH, of Cincinnati, in the county of Hamilton and State of 01110, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Billiard-Ball Comp0sition, which improvement is fully set forth in the following specification.

The object of the present invention is to provide an improved composition for billiard and pool balls; and it consists of the ingredients combined and arranged in the following proportions, viz: marble-dust, iron filings, or filings of any other mi11erals,one ounce; litharge, one-half ounce; dissolved rubber, two ounces.

In preparing this compound we first dissolve the rubber in benzine, and allow the benzine to partially evaporate. We then mix thoroughly therein the other ingredients, consisting of the marble-dust, iron, or other mineral filing, and litharge. In this plastic state the mass is formed into a ball or balls of any required size, after which we allow it to dry so that the benzine will thoroughly evaporate.
